2 High Street businesses close doors LOGAN HICKMAN AND ALEX DRUMMER Campus editor and Oller reporter hickman.201@osu.edu and drummer.18@osu. edu Despite close proximity to Ohio State’s campus, at least two restaurants along High Street couldn’t make it. But some nearby local businesses said they weren’t surprised based on the menus, food prices and locations of the two restaurants.

Meanwhile, at least one of the spaces might already have a new tenant — Tom and Chee.

Pera Fresh Istanbul Food and Red Robin’s Burger Works recently shut their doors.

A Red Robin spokesperson confirmed the Burger Works location at 1708 N. High St. had closed earlier this month, but said that “beyond that, we do not have any additional details to share at this time.”

The owner of the property, Scott Schiff , said it a was a failed experiment by the Red Robin company.

“Columbus, Ohio — being known as the test market, particularly the university area — (Burger Works) tried it, and they didn’t like the results, so they moved on.

You know, if somebody can’t make money on High Street at Ohio State University, they ain’t going to make money anywhere because it’s just so dense a population,” Schiff said.

The property, which Schiff said has a

Sophomore defensive lineman Joey Bosa (97) celebrates after a play during a game against Virginia Tech on Sept. 6 at Ohio Stadium. OSU lost, 35-21.

OSU unafraid of hostile environment TIM MOODY Sports editor moody.178@osu.edu When the Big Ten’s top offense is pitted against the conference’s No. 1 defense, home field advantage could go a long way in deciding the outcome of a game.

On paper, that would suggest Penn State (4-2, 1-2) has an edge on No. 13 Ohio State (5-1, 2-0) heading into their Saturday matchup in State College, Pa. But for at least one Buckeye, a road game in a hostile environment is exactly what he wants.

“I’ve been waiting to play in this stadium, because apparently it just erupts and is crazy,” Joey Bosa said Wednesday of the Nittany Lions’ Beaver Stadium. “So I’m super excited.”

The sophomore defensive lineman said

the OSU coaching staff has talked to the team so the players “don’t get nervous,” but he said the Buckeyes’ experience playing at Ohio Stadium should keep that from being a problem. Instead, Bosa said he’s simply looking forward to playing in a loud atmosphere on the road.

“I’ve been talking to everybody all year about, ‘Oh, Penn State is supposed to be the craziest environment,’” he said.

“We play in front of 108,000 people every weekend, and so it kinda sucks when we go away and they don’t have an environment like that.”

OSU leads the nation in average attendance this season, having set a new Ohio Stadium attendance record on Sept. 6 against Virginia Tech and then broke that record on Sept. 27 against Cincinnati. But white-clad Nittany Lion faithful have kept Beaver Stadium crowds not far behind.

In three home games, Penn State has

Despite recent assaults, OSU guest policy is open ETHAN SCHECK Lantern reporter scheck.12@osu.edu Recent reported sexual assaults in Ohio State residence halls have promoted some students to question if the university should enforce some type of guest policy for to track who comes and goes. Other schools, like the University of Cincinnati, keep track of dorm guests, which others say might be a little much. Still, a spokesman from the Office of Student Life was mum on whether OSU has plans on enforcing a residence hall guest policy.

There have been two reported residence hall rapes so far this semester, at least one of which involved a woman bringing the attacker back to her dorm.

The first incident occurred in a South Campus residence hall on Sept. 27. The

suspect claimed to be an OSU student and was invited to the residence hall as a guest. The incident prompted Ohio State Police to issue a public safety notice.

The suspect in this sexual assault, described as a 22-23-year-old white male standing 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds, was later identified and police said he was not an OSU student.

Another public safety notice was issued Sept. 15 after a rape was reported, this time in a North Campus dorm. The suspect had been identified and escorted from university property before the notice was issued nearly a day after the incident.

Even so, Student Life spokesman Dave Isaacs said guests are solely the responsibility of the students escorting them, so there is no current procedure for the university to keep track of who enters its buildings.

While several Big Ten schools — such

as Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State and Purdue have similar policies — the University of Cincinnati has a more stringent policy for weekend visitors at least.

“Guest check-in requires both the host and guest to leave a state- or college/ university-issued picture ID at the checkin point,” UC’s Housing website says.

Meanwhile, only two on-campus forcible sex offenses were reported at UC residence halls in 2013, the same as 2012, according to the UC Campus Safety Report.

At OSU, there were 25 forcible sexual offenses reported on-campus in 2013, a rise from 21 in 2012, according to the 2014 Annual Campus Security Report.OSU is a larger school, with 57,466 enrolled in 2013 to Cincinnati’s 42,656.

Still, while some students said guest

averaged just under 100,000 in the attendance column.

The Buckeyes have played just two games away from home this season — against Navy in Baltimore and Maryland in College Park, Md. — and both games had attendance numbers under 60,000.

Coach Urban Meyer said the atmospheres simply don’t stack up against Beaver Stadium.

“Not like this one,” he said.

Meyer called Penn State’s stadium a top-five atmosphere, and added the team has been practicing with simulated crowd noise — which could be heard from inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center during the latter portions of Wednesday’s night session.

“It’s hard to get ready for this one,” Meyer said. “But we’ve had some good

Football season ticket holders to pick their seats DANIEL BENDTSEN Asst. arts editor bendtsen.1@osu.edu Ohio State football season ticket holders will soon be able to select their specific seats online, akin to the way one would buy concert tickets on a virtual map.

In the past, seats could be changed by making a request during the renewal process. OSU would then consider the request and possibly make accommodations, said Martin Jarmond, OSU executive associative athletic director.

The ability for specific ticket holders to improve their seats depends on their standing within the university’s “donor priority system.” The point system, which is based on a weighted calculation of the ticket holder’s current, past and revocable donations, will not change, said Martin Jarmond, OSU executive associate athletic director.

The only access change will be the ability to pick specific seats, rather than requesting seats in a general area.

The university began mailing out brochures Tuesday explaining the new process, according to The Columbus Dispatch. The new system will distribute tickets on a four-year basis and begin for the 2016 season.

The new system was rolled out for faculty and staff this season, and Jarmond said this smaller demographic, which is roughly half of the number of public ticket holders, served as a sort of beta test, and results have been better than he expected. The biggest issue with the technology has been poor function on certain browsers.

The availability of the technology was the No. 1 reason for the change. The new system will be easier for the fans and for the university, as OSU won’t have to use its manpower to screen change requests, Jarmond said.

As for a financial benefit of the change, “We really have no idea. That remains to be seen,” Jarmond said.

“It’s just a system change, but we don’t know yet if people are going to be donating more because of it.”

The distribution method for student tickets also will not change, Jarmond said, as the lack of a seating priority system moots the need to change the student ticketing process.

campus Crime brief: 14 alcohol-related incidents reported on campus MICHELE THEODORE Managing editor for content theodore.13@osu.edu There were 12 reports of open container and two reports of offenses involving underage persons on Saturday afternoon.

The incidents were reported in the parking lots of Ohio Stadium, at the French Field House and in the parking lot of St. John Arena and Buckeye Lot. The incidents took place from approximately 12:45 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., which is when Ohio State’s homecoming game against Rutgers started.

Tailgaters are not permitted to have open containers of alcohol by state and city laws.

A 19-year-old man was also arrested Saturday at 5:40 near the Journalism Building and charged with prohibited acts, offenses involving underage persons and criminal damaging/ endangering.

There was also a report of offenses involving underage persons at Siebert Hall on Oct. 11. An officer was called to the residence hall on a report of people carrying an unconscious person0, according to a University Police report.

Three students — including one from Miami University (Ohio) and one from an OSU branch campus — said they were taking their friend home. They found him intoxicated on High Street and carried him home. He was lying face up in disheveled clothing and was insensate, the

officer wrote in the report. The man, who was a Virginia Tech student, was taken to the OSU Wexner Medical Center.

A 58-year-old man was arrested Monday at about 2 p.m. near the Ohio Union Parking Garage North for receiving stolen property.

He was also charged with obstructing official business, possessing a drug abuse instrument, resisting arrest, possessing criminal tools and criminal trespass.

A glass pipe with black residue and a scrubbing pad, a “leatherman” — or a type of tool/ knife set — three screwdrivers, four pieces of tinted auto glass, a backpack and a road bike were seized from the man.

There was also a report of drug abuse during Hempfest at the Browning Amphitheatre on Oct. 11 at about 7:30 p.m. An officer became suspicious of two people smoking what appeared to be a hand-rolled cigarette, according to a police report.

The officer approached the two men who were passing the cigarette back and forth, and smelled marijuana. One of the men offered it to the officer without looking at him, but when the man realized it was an officer, he tried to hide the cigarette. One of the men eventually admitted the marijuana was his, and both men received a verbal warning.

There were 37 thefts reported on campus between Oct. 10 and Oct. 22, including four thefts of bicycles and six thefts from automobiles, according to the University Police daily log.

Guest from 1A policies might be a good idea, they could come off as overbearing.

Holly Nurre, a second-year in industrial systems engineering who lives at OSU’s Residence on Tenth, said she thinks that UC’s policies might go too far for adoption at OSU, but could see its usefulness for younger students.

“It’s a good idea, maybe, if there was an all-freshman dorm,” she said. “Maybe that would be something good just to have for your first year here. But after that, I think that you should start taking responsibility … for who (you) let into the building.”

Others like Mary Nemer, a third-year in human nutrition and Spanish and a resident adviser at Residence on Tenth, said she’s not convinced guest check-ins would be the right move for students.

“Most of our residents are 18 years or older and, you know, hopefully that since they’re adults, they’re aware of the decisions they’re making,” Nemer said. “But I don’t really think it’s the university’s role to restrict who they can bring in and at certain times. I just, I don’t know, I feel like that would be too much oversight.”

Nurre said there are other ways to improve safety without changing procedure to requiring guest check-ins.

“I would prefer if just the main door was open after like a certain time of night. Just so that people at the desk could kinda keep track of who’s walking in and out,” she said.

While schools like UC require guests to check in on the weekends, others, like Indiana University, maintain that non-residents can’t enter dorm buildings unless they are escorted by tenants.

According to Indiana University’s Residential Programs and Service website, “it is the responsibility of the host to register the guests” and no one can enter a residence hall without an escort who lives there. Guests must be

escorted at all times while in the residence halls.

And letting non-residents follow residents into dorms when they swipe open the doors — which Isaacs referred to as “piggy-backing,” and what Nemer called “tailgating” — is still a big issue at OSU, Isaacs said.

Nemer said that at floor meetings at the beginning of the year, students are informed to be on the look out for such behavior, advising them to go to their RAs if they are uncomfortable confronting an unwelcome guest.

“We ask residents to swipe themselves into the building and not let other people follow them into the building,” she said.

Nurre said she’s noticed the trend.

“Sometimes you see people sitting outside, like waiting for someone to walk out the door, and that’s always a little unsettling,” she said.

Still, Nemer said she and her fellow RAs work to keep their residents informed.

“Whenever there is a safety issue in a residence hall, we post signs on all the doors to make sure the residents are aware of them,” she said.

With regards to the recently reported South Campus sexual assault, Nemer said there were mentions of sexual assault at staff meetings, but no focus on the details of the event.

Isaacs said Student Life is also working to promote student safety.

“We are consistently reviewing our security procedures to ensure the safest possible environment for our students,” he said, adding that they were “constantly” reviewing security procedures for residence halls.

Still, he gave no details on whether the university would enforce any type of residence hall guest policy in the near future.

Meanwhile, University Police Chief Paul Denton said in an Oct. 3 email that there is no new information on the recent sexual assaults.

“The recent assaults have open and active investigations. Consequently we do not discuss them nor our investigative procedures,” he said.

“waiting list” of tenants, has already been re-leased.

Shane Lumpkins, a manager at The Big Bar & Grill, a nearby business located at 1716 N. High St., said he heard a pizza place is going into the empty space. However, Schiff could not confirm.

Lumpkins said the price of the burgers might be to blame for the restaurant’s closing.

“Honestly, Burger Works is just a highdollar burger, so on campus it’s tough,” he said.

As for Pera, the former owner, Faith Gunal, did not return a Wednesday afternoon phone call inquiring about why the restaurant closed.

Scott Solomon of Oxford Realty, which owns the property at 1980 A. N. High St., said Pera still had time left on its lease. He said the restaurant didn’t technically close, however. “(Pera) physically sold their business to Tom and Chee,” he said.

Solomon referred The Lantern to the sales representative for Tom and Chee for comment on the details of the sale. That representative, however, did not respond to a Wednesday afternoon phone call.

Representatives from nearby Central Ohio Tom and Chee locations didn’t respond to phone calls requesting comment after business hours and the company didn’t immediately respond to an email request for comment after business hours on Wednesday.

Tom and Chee is a tomato soup and grilled cheese shop, according to its website. The business went from a tiny food tent to a franchise after appearing on ABC’s “Shark Tank” and receiving investment funding. In Columbus, it has locations in Hilliard and Pickerington, according to its website, which also lists a “coming soon!” location at 1980 A. N. High St. Adam Sidrane, a second-year student, said he would be interested to give Tom and Chee a try once it opens.

“I’ve never heard of it, so … it’s different. There’s tons of burger places. I’ve never really heard of like, a grilled cheese (restaurant),” he said.

Christian Klamar, a second-year in economics, said he had never been to Burger Works or Pera but is excited about Tom and Chee.

After hearing the news and being asked if he would go there, he said, “Oh yeah, are you kidding me? That makes me so happy to hear.”

Kirsten Long, a third-year student, however, said she loved both Burger Works and Pera and was “heartbroken” that they both closed their doors.

Long said she’d be interested in trying Tom and Chee but thinks it would have competition in Columbus, such as Melt Bar and Grilled.

Owner of nearby Buckeye Donuts, Jimmy Barouxis, said he didn’t notice Pera’s closing until a few weeks after it happened.

However, Barouxis said he saw it coming.

“It’s a terrible location. It’s just strange.

It’s just in a weird spot and the food probably wasn’t that good,” he said.

Barouxis — who is 38 years old — said he has been in the campus area since he was 6 and has seen several businesses go in and out of the location.

Greg Hall, the owner of Used Kids Records , located between Buckeye Donuts and Pera at 1980 N. High St., said he did not think the change would affect his business but if others followed suit, it might.

“I don’t like seeing a lot of empty storefronts around me,’ he said. “It’s not good to be the one retailer in the middle of a series of empty storefronts,” he said.

These nearby off-campus eateries aren’t the first to close on High Street in recent times.

Last year, multiple businesses left the South Campus Gateway area. Kildare’s Irish Pub closed in summer 2013, and Charlie Bear: Land of Dance and Gooeyz moved to different locations in fall 2013.

Lion from 1A practices and the one thing about our setup out here (is) we can get some noise pumped in pretty good.”

On top of an already hostile environment, Meyer said the Buckeyes are expecting to take on a team that considers them a rival, even if the Nittany Lions don’t compare to Michigan in the eyes of OSU. “I’ve heard Penn State considers Ohio State their rival,” the third-year OSU coach said. “Obviously we have one (rival).”

But Meyer added that he does consider it a rivalry matchup to an extent, and expects to have a difficult game on his hands when the players step on the field.

“We consider them a great program and it’s going to be a tough game,” he said.

Regardless of whatever sort of rivalry there might or might not be between the two schools, Penn State coach James Franklin said his Nittany Lions have to be ready for one of the best teams they’ll face this season.

“You look at their program, you look at their team doing a tremendous job,” Franklin said during a Tuesday press conference. “Probably the fastest, most athletic team and also tremendous size, probably the best combination that we’ve seen so far this year.”

Franklin added that he’s seen the Buckeyes turn a corner since their week two loss to the Hokies.

“Since then, they have had a lot of success,” he said.

“Playing with a lot of confidence, scoring a lot of points and creating a lot of turnovers on defense that are factoring into those points as well.”

In the four games since the loss to Virginia Tech, OSU has posted historic numbers on the offensive side of the ball.

The Buckeyes have scored more than 50 points in each of their past four games — a school record — and they tied an OSU mark with four straight games gaining 500 or more yards on offense. That torrid pace has put OSU on top of the Big Ten standings for total offense per game, but it’s set to face off with a formidable defense as well.

Penn State ranks first in the Big Ten in total defense, giving up just 283.3 yards per game, but it’ll be up against a Buckeye offense averaging 533.8 yards per game this season.

Beyond the Nittany Lions’ ability to disrupt the running game — they are best in the Big Ten, surrendering just 60.8 yards per game on the ground this season — OSU redshirtsophomore offensive lineman Pat Elflein said Penn State will attack more than other defenses the Buckeyes have faced.

“They like to blitz a lot,

this’ll be the heaviest blitz team we’ve played so far,” Elflein said Wednesday.

For the Buckeye offensive line — and the offense in general — matching up with the Penn State defense is a formidable task. Elflein said there has to be even more emphasis on communication since the game is set to be played in such a hostile atmosphere.

“It’s gonna be a hard environment to play in, and communication is key along the offensive line,” he said.

“And they like to blitz a lot so we’re gonna have to communicate with (redshirt-freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett) and everybody and it’s going to be tough.”

On the other side of the ball, the Buckeyes’ defense is set to face a struggling Penn State offense.

Nittany Lion sophomore quarterback Christian Hackenberg is first in the Big Ten in passing yards per game, but he’s already thrown seven interceptions compared to just five touchdowns. Despite his sophomore slump, OSU senior cornerback Doran Grant said he and the rest of the defensive unit still have respect for Hackenberg.

“I still think he’s … a pretty efficient quarterback,” Grant said Wednesday. “He does his things, you can tell he has control of the team. They respect him. He’s going to be ready to play, especially for this game.”

Regardless of how much control Hackenberg has over his team, recent history has not been kind to Penn State quarterbacks when they take on the Buckeyes.

OSU intercepted the then-freshman Hackenberg twice in a 63-14 win at Ohio Stadium last season. In 2012, thenOSU linebacker Ryan Shazier returned an interception for a touchdown, helping the Buckeyes to a 35-23 win in State College.

But the defensive backs aren’t the only players looking to make a statement for OSU. Bosa said OSU has recognized that Penn State’s offensive line hasn’t played well this season, but still said he expects them to pose a challenge.

“They have their struggles, they’re young, they have some freshmen in there,” Bosa said. “But they’re going to definitely come out and play their best game against us so we have to prepare just as hard as if it was anyone.”

With a questionable offensive line, an up-and-down quarterback and a stifling defense on the books to go along with the Beaver Stadium atmosphere, Grant said it will be key for the Buckeyes to simply settle into the game in order to have success.

“Basically just don’t let the crowd get to you … you just keep playing,” he said. “Keep playing and as the game rolls along and it starts to go our way, then you’ll see it just like any other game.”

Kickoff between the Buckeyes and Nittany Lions is scheduled for 8 p.m.

Culture pushes generation to desire perfection

I had a hard time falling asleep Saturday night.

As I lay in bed, I kept reciting various cost concepts for an accounting quiz I had to take Sunday. I convinced myself that any score earned below an A- would prove my deficiency in math.

The numbers and definitions, though, wove between DANIELLE SEAMON the idiosyncrasies of the plot of Arts editor “Gone Girl.” I have been listening seamon.17@osu.edu to someone else read it to me via audiobook, because I feel the need to be up-to-date and informed on what is considered excellent, modern literature, but I have found it increasingly difficult to dedicate two-fifths of my senses and 85 percent of my brain power to holding a book, reading it and comprehending it.

It wasn’t just my mind that was restless, though. My hands were also sleepy and sore from the day’s constant movement.

I spent 75 percent of the day sewing — a hobby I picked up partially for therapeutic comfort and partially to boast a new skill — and the other 25 percent trying to remember the fingerings to Mozart’s “Flute Concerto No. 1 in G major.” I took the song to district contest my sophomore year of high school and received the highest rating. My mental assessment almost five years later was intended to see if I maintained the finesse and technique I once had on the flute so I could convince myself that I did not yet have to mourn the loss of a talent.

At some point between my transition from high school to college, I dedicated myself to being a Renaissance woman. It wasn’t enough for me to be good at one thing anymore; instead, I needed to be an accomplished writer, mathematician, linguist,

student, musician and seamstress while also being well-read, well-informed and well-liked.

It’s a lovely thing to maintain lifelong curiosity and a desire to always be a student. For me, though, it is a burden of contrived inadequacy when I find my mind and abilities won’t flex a certain way.

“The more I pondered, though, the more I realized it is not pop culture that is pushing me and my generation to maintain perfection in every single possible skill.”

It was keeping me up at night. Why do I feel the need to be good at everything?

I settle a lot of my anxiety by using Newton’s Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. By finding the origin of my apprehension, I can analyze my instinctive responses that led me to the condition I am in today. From there, I can point out where I have faltered and fix accordingly to make a whole new me.

So what external factor made me discontented with my natural clout and credentials, filling the holes of my inabilities with a sense of mediocrity?

Perhaps it was one of the opening scenes in “Girls” that made me feel the need to up my ante. In the HBO show’s first episode of the first season, Hannah Horvath — played by Lena Dunham — is fired from her unpaid internship in New York, although a co-intern of hers was hired onto the publishing company’s staff.

Her boss’ reasoning?

“Joy-Lynn knows Photoshop.”

I know how to use Photoshop, though, so I’m already a step ahead of Hannah.

Perhaps it’s watching the Disney princesses. Growing up, my favorite movies featured these triple-threat women who could

sing, dance, hunt, sew, paint, swim, talk to animals, fight the Huns and somehow still be beautiful at the same time.

But then again, an inability to decipher fact from fiction by the age of 21 shows that not only do you have feelings of insufficiency, you’ve also lost touch with reality.

Perhaps it’s the product of who I look up to: John Cameron Mitchell wrote one of my favorite stories of all time — “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” — as well as acted and sang in the starring, transgender role in the 2001 movie. He can play both a man and a woman masterfully. Tavi Gevinson was a fashion icon before she was a teenager, developed and managed a fashion magazine before she turned 18 and has acted on Broadway and took the cover of New York Magazine before 21. Beyoncé is Beyoncé.

These people can do everything.

However, it is more or so wishful thinking to derive my incessant need to be good at everything from pop culture. After all, mostly everything in pop culture is a trend, and a trend, by definition, is temporary. Perhaps my anxiety will pass.

The more I pondered, though, the more I realized it is not pop culture that is pushing me and my generation to maintain perfection in every single possible skill.

It is culture.

It is me having to check off all my skills on online job applications and see everything else — the unchecked options — that I am unable to do.

It is me having to write essays to potential employers explaining how I’ve used all my time and knowledge up until this moment to prepare for this internship or career.

It is me — already stereotyped as an “entitled millennial” — to explain to a hiring manager why I am more entitled for a position than my peers.

It is me having to size up my friends’ and colleagues’ abilities against mine to figure out why I am a better candidate.

If I don’t know how to do everything, I might be worth nothing.

featuring Mr. Fox, with absolutely no mention of the likely partisan content therein. Not only that, but Wednesday’s “Flicks for Free” featured his second film devoted to fracking, “Gasland Pt. II.” Disguised as an informative legislative lecture, OUAB is hosting a highly controversial political activist on the students’ dime.

This is an unacceptable use of the student activity fee. OUAB has done excellent political events in the past, like 2012’s debate between Karl Rove and James Carville, but this event does nothing to heighten the level of debate or knowledge present among the student body. This brings a hyper-partisan activist to speak on a subject in a completely one-sided fashion disguised as an informative event. It does so without providing a voice on the other side to speak in opposition and it is unlikely that we ever would have seen OUAB host a premiere of Phelim McAleer’s documentary “Fracknation,” which defends hydraulic fracturing practices. And we, as students of the Ohio State University, will receive a double dose of this one-sidedness with back-to-back events taking place, each featuring Fox. As a political organization, we welcome dissent. We welcome bipartisanship. This year, we have worked together with the College

Democrats collegially on events that benefit all students. We also have engaged in debates with other political organizations. It is worth it to the student body, when presenting a debated current issue, to provide voices from both sides and allow students to make their own informed decisions. Inviting Josh Fox to speak, while not marketing exactly who he is and what background he possesses to qualify him to speak on this topic, is a poor use of the money that students pay to the university, and we are very disappointed in OUAB for this event.

Usher spills secrets, stories of Ohio Stadium desiaire rickman Lantern reporter rickman.16@osu.edu Football players, coaches, students, faculty and Buckeyes alike come and go through Ohio Stadium, but few spend as much time in its concrete walls as Ohio State’s ushers.

If you’ve been to the stadium, you’ve probably seen or even talked to an usher as they showed you to your seat, took your tickets and answered your questions.

Major events happen each year in Ohio Stadium, and it’s no surprise that the ushers have collected some colorful stories over the years. Now, those stories are the focus of one usher’s new book.

Trevor Zahara, an Ohio State alumnus who has been an usher for 17 years, is the author of “Confessions of an OSU Usher,” an idea he said was inspired by one of his late colleagues.

“During those 17 years, I became good friends with the head usher,” Zahara said. “(James Norris) was an usher for over 40 years and was such a super guy.”

Zahara said he and Norris used to meet for lunch with other ushers to share stories and discuss traditions surrounding OSU football. Norris died in 2011 and his stories went with him, but Zahara got the idea to collect the stories of other ushers after speaking with Norris’ replacement. The stories were mainly collected through

The cover of ‘Confessions of an OSU Usher’ by Trevor Zahara. The book — which includes anecdotes from several Ohio Stadium ushers throughout the years as well as interviews with Urban Meyer, Jim Tressel and Gene Smith — details the history of the ‘Shoe as well as the experiences of those who have been within its walls over the years.

email, but he also conducted interviews in-person and over the phone.

Zahara collected stories from fellow ushers, coaches, faculty members and band members, and then ran a successful Kickstarter campaign to meet his nearly $5,000 goal to cover the publishing costs of his book.

“I interviewed Urban Meyer, Jim Tressel, and I got a lot of stories from Gene Smith,” Zahara said.

In the 332 pages of “Confessions of an OSU Usher,” the stories paint a picture of the Ohio Stadium over the years, with some of the ushers having up to 50 years of history with OSU, Zahara said. Describing his book as “entertaining as well as educational,” Zahara said that the book includes

factoids about the stadium that people might not know about.

For example, the “Freedom Train,” an exhibition route intended to drum up patriotism, ran through campus in the late 1940s on the site of what become St. John Arena in 1956.

The same tracks that bore that train also took fans to away games for $2, according to Lantern archives All kinds of stories can be found in his book, ranging from father-son stories to ex-football players to stories of streakers that ran through Ohio Stadium.

Adele Stratton, an OSU alumna, volunteered her time to help Zahara edit his book.

“I met Trevor more than 20 years ago,” Stratton said in an email. “Trevor didn’t actually approach me about editing his book — I offered to do it during a conversation he and I had when he was telling me how his book was coming along.”

While editing the stories, Stratton noticed two different themes from the stories told by students and the stories told by alumni.

“The stories from current and younger students had somewhat more of a ‘This is how it is’ feel, while those from ushers and alumni — some in their 80s and older — lent broader, retrospective views,” she said. “Together, they coalesce into a book that I think most OSU sports fans will both appreciate and enjoy.”

Zellweger’s about-face needs explanation

Sam Kayuha Lantern reporter kayuha.2@osu.edu Once the bubble bursts, it is nearly impossible to recapture what was there before.

Walk the Moon’s bubble burst about two years ago, when “Anna Sun” became an unexpected hit and the Ohio-bred band went from waiting for its big break to seeing it unfold before its eyes. The band members toured across the country and through Europe, along the way becoming alt pop radio mainstays.

Booking a Columbus show at the relatively small venue The Basement might have been the band’s way of rediscovering its roots, but there is nothing like quickly selling out a gig to remind you that there are more people who want to hear your music than can cram into the armpit of Lifestyle Communities Pavilion.

(I say that lovingly. All the best dive bar venues resemble an armpit in some way.)

The Basement was as crowded Tuesday night as I have ever seen it, packed to the rafters with an age-diverse crowd.

There were huge turnouts from three different generations, as high school kids, mostly girls, ruled the pit. A safe distance away stood the college-aged and 20-somethings, the crowd members who didn’t need a fake ID to order a beer. And a third, older group of men and women, not quite old enough to be the parents of the high schoolers, also took in the show.

Fellow Cincinnati band Public opened, boasting a less synthy version of Walk the Moon’s sound — and it pulled it off almost as well as the headliner. The band is one hit away from being on level ground with their fellow Ohioans, though I would argue that they might not be able to top their own cover of Britney Spears’ “Toxic.”

The crowd, packed shoulder to shoulder, was practically in a frenzy by the time the four members of Walk the Moon appeared on stage and ripped into their hit “Tightrope.”

From that point on, the show became a full on assault of bouncy, catchy, jangly guitar-led pop songs. “Down in the Dumps” sounded like Sting found Gary Numan’s synthesizer, and “Spend Your Money” lyrically attacked superficiality.

I had not been sold on the idea of playing the show at The Basement through the first half of the set, but one song that came about halfway through changed that. “Lisa Baby” is monstrous on record, but when performed live, it brought that

danielle seamon Arts editor seamon.17@osu.edu Since I have thick, curly and unwieldy hair, I typically let it do its own thing postwash. When I decide to intervene with a blow dryer, though, people audibly freak by the noticeable difference.

And that’s just my hair. I just blow dried my hair, and I have people from all sides of campus going, “Oh my God — I love it! Did you get a haircut? Brazilian blowout? Is that a wig?”

A public reaction isn’t what I expect, let alone aim for, when I blow dry my hair, but I understand it as a natural response of curiosity when someone looks different — not better, but perhaps enhanced

— from his or her daily, normal appearance. It’s one of the wonderful blessings of the human brain — being able to out-remember a goldfish and apply past experiences to a situation of the moment.

What do they call that again? Oh yeah, thinking.

So, allow me to review: I didn’t blow dry my hair and get a little work done on my face after my shower. I didn’t blow dry my hair and pluck the shape out of my eyebrows. I just blow dried my hair, and you would think I got a face tattoo from people’s expressions.

Renee Zellweger, though, not only blow dried her hair — but she also changed the features of her face and walked out Monday on the red carpet at the Elle Women in Hollywood Awards in Beverly Hills. However, she has no idea

why people are making such a big deal out of this.

In fact, she thinks it is “silly” that people are noticing that her small, signature eyes are distinctly more rounded and open and that her face has thinned out.

“It seems the folks who come digging around for some nefarious truth which doesn’t exist won’t get off my porch until I answer the door,” Zellweger told People magazine.

And the truth?

“I’m living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I’m thrilled that perhaps it shows.”

She’s so right. The last time I substituted a handful of Cheez-Its for a pack of 100 Calorie Right Bites,

desiaire rickman Lantern reporter rickman.16@osu.edu If you have checked the Billboard Hot 100 chart recently, you might have noticed that the top five spots belong exclusively to female artists. You might not have known it’s an unprecedented phenomenon.

“For the first time in the 56-year history of the Billboard Hot 100, solo female artists have occupied the top five positions on the chart for six consecutive weeks,” according to a Billboard article by Melinda Newman.

Two of those songs include guest spots by other female artists, so there are eight women who have been running the show. Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass” leads the pack, followed by Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off,” Iggy Azalea’s “Black Widow” featuring Rita

Ora, Tove Lo’s “Habits (Stay High)” and “Bang Bang” by Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj.

It isn’t until you get to the sixth position that you find a male artist — in this case, R&B singer Jeremih, with “Don’t Tell ‘Em” featuring YG. While uncommon (and less common than male lockouts), a female lockout of Billboard’s top five has occurred as recently as March 2012 when Katy Perry’s “Part of Me” led a top five consisting of Adele’s “Set Fire to the Rain” and “Rolling in the Deep,” Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” and Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You),” according to Billboard.

Looking outside of the Hot 100 list, the top-three selling albums of 2014 have been by or led by female artists: Disney’s

Billboard from 7A Frozen soundtrack, featuring Idina Menzel’s “Let it Go,” Beyoncé’s surprise self-titled album and Lorde’s “Pure Heroine.”

With women seemingly dominating the charts, Newman posed a question: “Is it a movement or just a moment?”

It’s a legitimate question. How is it that female artists have locked male artists out of the top five for a record-breaking six weeks? Is it in retialition for male artists dominated 2013, including a point in June when the top five were controlled by Robin Thicke’s polarizing “Blurred Lines” featuring Pharrell Williams and T.I., Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” (with Pharrell Williams making another guest spot appearance), Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ “Can’t Hold Us,” Imagine Dragons’ “Radioactive” and Justin Timberlake’s “Mirrors”?

Is it because big names like Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars and Timberlake are between album cycles , with Mars and Timberlake recently finishing up their worldwide tours?

Or is it because of the girl anthems that make up the current top five? Meghan Trainor has come under recent criticism for “All About That Bass” for it possibly having skinnyshaming implications, but for the most part, women have embraced the song for its uplifting message of loving their bodies because “every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top,” as Trainor sings.

Maybe it’s the “pop formula” that dictates almost every song Taylor Swift puts out will be an instant hit. That proved true with the release of “Shake it Off.” Even though the song’s video caught fire for Swift’s peculiar interactions with her black dancers, the song has more than prepared Swift’s fans for her upcoming album “1989.”

And we can’t forget about the bad girl

Roots from 7A energy from one corner of the room to the other.

The crowd had been moving up to this point, but this song is when they started grooving. I realized most people who had scored the limited tickets to the show were diehard fans; everyone around me sung along to almost every word.

Their latest single, “Shut Up and Dance,” followed and prompted the crowd to do the latter.

This show seemed like a celebration of sorts for the band, a chance to look back at all they have accomplished. When he introduced “I Can Lift a Car,” singer Nicholas Petricca reminisced that a few years prior they opened a show at The Basement for a band that now can only dream of Walk the Moon’s success. The day after that gig,

anthem that rounds out the top-five. “Bang Bang,” by Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj, has already been referred to as this generation’s “Lady Marmalade,” a Labelle hit remade by Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, Mya and Pink that held the top spot on the chart for five weeks in 2001, according to Billboard . The star power behind these three artists’ names might have led to its massive success, with Grande and Minaj both having singles that broke into Billboard’s top five in 2014 — Grande’s “Problem” debuted at No. 3 and Minaj’s “Anaconda” peaked at No. 2 .

Speaking of “Problem,” the featured artist on Grande’s hit also found success in 2014.

Iggy Azalea, whose “Black Widow” is currently No. 3 on Billboard, tied a Beatles record when “Fancy” and “Problem” held, respectively, the No. 1 and 2 spots on Billboard’s Hot 100 .

Azalea holds the record for a female rapper’s reign at the top with six weeks, beating out Lil’ Kim and her “Lady Marmalade” collaboration.

So many female artists garnering so much attention in 2014 reflects a shift in the music culture. In an industry seemingly dominated by male artists and producers, it seems that more female artists are taking charge of their image and their music. Female empowerment anthems appear to be an untapped reservoir of success, especially with the feminist movement really making progress in the entertainment industry — Beyoncé and Emma Watson being only two examples of stars promoting feminism.

Of course, music tends to go through cycles, so this movement might only end up being a “moment” in music history, but the female artists of this “moment” might end up inspiring the future female artists of the next in this never-ending cycle.

The female domination of Billboard’s top five proves that the world is, in fact, about that bass .

the band drove back to Cincinnati to have a release party for their new single “Anna Sun.” “And that’s how this all started,” Petricca said.

Enough time had passed since it was popular that I had forgotten how great of a song “Anna Sun” is. The rest of the crowd might not have forgotten, because when the band launched into the song to close their set, it brought everyone lucky enough to be there together one more time.

Bands like Walk the Moon are often criticized for a lack of substance — in many circles, alt pop is almost as bad as pop. But I challenge anyone to see this band live, especially in the presence of diehard fans like Tuesday night’s crowd and not come away with a newfound respect for them — and perhaps, even a new favorite song.

Face from 7A the bump in the bridge of my nose smoothed out.

Whether the changes in her face were a product of medical intervention or a lifestyle awakening is beside the point, though. If she did get a few nips and tucks, it’s her right and prerogative. If her face changed because she now goes to bed at 9 p.m. instead of 10 p.m., then she has some explaining to do regarding the fact that her water bed is filled with the flowings from the fountain of youth.

What is a bit ridiculous, though, is Renee copping an attitude because people have taken and vocalized notice; rolling her eyes to the fact that more than a few celebrity news outlets have picked up this before-and-after picture of two seemingly different people claiming to be one.

It’s a bit insulting, actually — “I am Renee Zellweger. Look at this dim-witted pack of sheep. So bored with their own lives and concerned over the drastic restructuring of my face. How frivolous; how bourgeois.”

It’s not that Renee looks better; it’s not that Renee looks worse. It’s not that the general public is constantly on the edges of their seats waiting to see what Renee Zellweger looks like today.

It’s that Renee Zellweger chalked up people’s reaction to the fact that they are just not familiar with how she looks in her 40s, forgetting that when she attended the Met Gala in 2013, she looked like she came straight off the set of “Bridget Jones’s Diary.” You know, how she had looked for the past 20 years.

Usher from 7A be interested in reading a book with stories about Ohio Stadium.

“It’s just being a part of Ohio State.

There’s a lot of traditions coming in and it would be cool to learn more about them,” she said.

Dhulipala said it would be interesting to learn about traditions that aren’t as wellknown as the more popular traditions, such as the Mirror Lake jump, when OSU fans jump in Mirror Lake the week before the annual football game against Michigan.

Zahara, who said his entire family bleeds scarlet and gray, said he hopes the

OSU and Columbus communities alike will pick up a copy of his book and learn about the stories that many of the ushers keep with them.

“Everything I have, I owe to Ohio State,” Zahara said. “I think students will get a better understanding of what everything is, from the stadium to Mirror Lake to OSU traditions.”

Zahara will be hosting a wine-andcheese tasting book signing event to thank his initial Kickstarter backers. The event is set to be held at the Bryce Eck Activity Center on Thursday from 6-8 p.m.

“Confessions of an OSU Usher” is available for purchase on Amazon for $19.95.

Also ridiculous? These headlines: • From Vox.com, “Renee Zellweger’s new looks reveals the pernicious demands we make of all women” • From The Daily Beast, “Renee Zellweger’s Fine, But We Need Some Work” • From The Guardian, “Nothing’s wrong with Renee Zellweger’s face. There’s something wrong with us” I’m the first person to try to dig a feminist angle out of any story that is even slightly derogatory to a woman’s appearance. I’m the first person to convince my reader that the patriarchy works day and night to make “the media” and general public succumb to its masculine ways and bring down the female based on how tiny or large her waist is.

But this has nothing to do with feminism. This has nothing to do with the patriarchy. This has nothing to do with society.

If anything, her impractical reasoning has women of all ages believing they are insufficient if their cheek bones don’t creep up simultaneously with their age.

This has everything to do with the fact that Renee Zellweger thinks she can slide a reeking load of crap past the general public. It’s about how an Oscarwinning actress believes she can walk out of the house with a new face — the very brand of who she is in her career — and seriously be bewildered that people are asking, “What changed?”

That’s show business, baby. If you don’t like it, you can sign out any time.

Crowd noise on Buckeyes’ minds JAMES GREGA, JR. Asst. sports editor grega.9@osu.edu

Simulated crowd noise, accompanied by the famous song “Zombie Nation,” could be heard bellowing from the Woody Hayes Athletic Center as the Ohio State football team wrapped up practice Wednesday evening.

The Buckeyes, who have not played a true road game in front of more than 52,000 people this season, are set to play a game in front of what most are expecting to be a sellout crowd of more than 106,000 at Beaver Stadium in State College, Pa., Saturday night.

OSU coach Urban Meyer said Wednesday that the simulated crowd noise is one of the things the Buckeyes are doing to prepare for the traditionally hostile crowd.

“This is one of those ones that is one of the top 10, really top five in the country places,” Meyer said. “It is hard to get ready for this one but we have had some good practices and the one thing about our setup out here (is) we can get some noise pumped in pretty good.”

The last time OSU played at Penn State, it came away with a 35-23 victory, and redshirtjunior tight end Nick Vannett said Wednesday that experience is something that stuck with him.

“That’s as loud of a stadium I’ve ever heard. That’s probably the loudest stadium I have ever played in honestly,” Vannett said.

“The white everywhere, it can get a little distracting, but as a team, we are going to go in focused and we have an objective and

With such a loud environment, Meyer said communication will be key for his team, especially on the offensive line.

“During a play — making sure the five guys

hear you and (eliminating) the silly penalties.

A lot of times it (the cadence) goes on the center,” Meyer said. “We have been decent about it but you have seen sometimes it looks like a circus out there.”

The last time the Buckeyes played on the

road, they committed seven penalties, costing them 66 yards in a 52-24 victory against Maryland. Among those penalties was a false start, an illegal motion and two delay of game penalties.

Redshirt-sophomore offensive lineman Pat Elflein echoed his coach’s comments and added that he believes the Buckeye offense can be effective in spite of the atmosphere if they can excel in one particular aspect.

“Communication. Identifying what they are doing, and communicating it to all the guys on the line,” Elflein said. “That’s going to be the key is communicating in that hostile environment. If we can do that, we will have a successful day.”

Elflein said the offensive line has worked hard this week on preparing for the crowd noise, including new ways of communicating if the environment causes too many issues.

One of those things being the addition of hand signals, something Elflein said has been an adjustment.

“We have got different procedures in case we can’t hear that we have been practicing,” Elflein said. “We practice the verbal (signals) from camp and so this week is just different getting adjusted to (new ones) and (if) we can adjust we will be fine.”

The Buckeye offense will be playing against more than just the crowd noise Saturday as the Nittany Lions boast the top

Sophomore quarterback Christian Hackenberg makes a pass during a Sept. 6 game against Akron in State College, Pa. Penn State won, 21-3.

Redshirt-freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett carries the ball during a game against Rutgers on Oct. 18 at Ohio Stadium. OSU won, 56-17.

5 keys to matchup at Penn State JAMES GREGA, JR. AND TIM MOODY Asst. sports editor and Sports editor grega.9@osu.edu and moody.187@osu.edu In 2013, the Ohio State football team beat a reeling Penn State squad, 63-14, at Ohio Stadium.

About a year later, the Buckeyes (5-1, 2-0) and Nittany Lions (4-2, 1-2) are set to face off again. But this time around, Penn State is free of NCAA sanctions including a revoked postseason ban and likely looking to avenge its big loss last season.

The Lantern sports editors picked five keys to the matchup that could either spark the Buckeyes or help the Nittany Lions turn around their season.

1. J.T. Barrett vs. Christian Hackenberg Barrett is OSU’s redshirt-freshman phenomenon while Hackenberg is a true sophomore with all-world potential.

The two are set to go head-to-head under center when their teams meet this weekend, and the game could easily come down to which one plays better. Based off production so far this season, Barrett might be more likely to have the better day, but both have put up big numbers at times.

OSU’s quarterback is the Big Ten’s most efficient passer — checking in with a 182.1 efficiency rating so far — while Hackenberg is averaging more passing yards per game than any other quarterback in the conference. That being said, the second-year Penn State starter is averaging less than four yards more than Barrett.

Outside of yards per game, the Buckeyes look to have a huge statistical advantage as Barrett has thrown 20 touchdowns compared to just five interceptions, while Hackenberg has thrown seven picks to just five scoring tosses.

If the Buckeyes’ defense can get

after Hackenberg and force him to make more mistakes — and if Barrett comes out firing once again — it could be another long day for the Nittany Lions.

2. Strength vs. Strength Beyond two young guns at quarterback, the matchup between the Buckeyes and Nittany Lions is set to feature the Big Ten’s top statistical defense against the conference’s best offense.

Penn State ranks first in the conference in total defense, giving up 283.3 yards per game, but OSU is first in total offense at a whopping 533.8 yards per game. The Nittany Lions are also first in scoring defense, giving up just 15.2 points per game this season, while the Buckeyes are No. 2 in the Big Ten with 46.5 points for per game this season.

OPINION

Cavaliers fans have no reason to celebrate — yet RYAN COOPER Lantern reporter cooper.487@osu.edu Cleveland sports can be described as many things. Depressing, gut-wrenching and eternally simultaneously optimistic and pessimistic are just a few.

One thing the three major professional teams in Cleveland cannot be called with a straight face is cool.

Being uncool comes with the territory of the city’s championship drought, turning old enough to receive an AARP card this coming December.

Thursday October 23, 2014

And yet, the Cavaliers are somehow now the “cool” team in the NBA. And I’m not sure I’m crazy about the way that feels.

It goes beyond being the title favorites in Las Vegas the season after receiving the first overall pick in the draft.

There’s nothing I want to see more than a team in Cleveland win a championship. And so I was ecstatic when the return of LeBron James to the Cavs signaled a very real opportunity for that to happen.

But I also knew to hold my breath.

The Browns in the ‘80s, the Indians in the ‘90s and the Cavs in the 2000s were all teams that seemed just as destined to bring home a trophy as this upcoming edition of the Cavs.

Of course, as we all know, those squads each came up empty in a more heartbreaking fashion than the last.

So when James announced his return, I told myself, “Dream today, but save the celebrating for the parade.”

For the four years LeBron played for the Miami Heat, I found myself glaring at everyone I passed by who was wearing Heat gear. Not only because I was admittedly still bitter about James leaving, but because I could not stand people that simply hitched on with the “cool” team.

After all that I and the generation before me had suffered, waiting for our Cleveland teams to deliver, it infuriated me that so many

people could openly flaunt taking the cheap and easy “thrill” of a championship over the real blood, sweat and tears experience.

And now, suddenly, the Cavs are “that” team.

Look, I know there are a ton of Cleveland fans out there, and not all of them can remain as passionate through the four years of garbage that the Cavs put out in the between-LeBron era. But I was at last year’s preseason game at the Schottenstein Center as well as the one this week, and I can tell you confidently that many people came out of the woodwork for this team.

rushing defense in the country, allowing just 60.83 yards per game on the ground.

In contrast, the OSU offense ranks 17th in the country in rushing, averaging 259.83 yards per game, including racking up 324 yards on the ground against Rutgers last week.

Despite the stifling Nittany Lion defense, Vannett said the Buckeye offense isn’t intimidated.

“They are very athletic. It’s the Big Ten so everyone is going to have good players, especially them,” Vannett said. “We are not going to change who we are either. It doesn’t matter if we are playing Penn State or some other team. We are going to go in, coming out fast like we always have and come back with a win.”

The Nittany Lion defense also has allowed just seven red zone touchdowns this season on 19 trips for opponents. Only one of those touchdowns has been by way of a pass, something Vannett said he was not aware of.

“I actually didn’t know that,” he said. “But I am sure that will change this coming up Saturday.”

The Buckeyes and Nittany Lions are scheduled to kick off at 8 p.m. at Beaver Stadium.

could be on the flip side of the field when the Buckeyes’ defense comes up against Penn State’s offense.

While the Nittany Lions’ defense has been strong throughout the year, their offense is all the way down at No. 10 in the conference with just 375.5 yards per game.

They’ll be going up against an OSU defense that ranks fifth in the Big Ten for total defense.

If the numbers hold true, the Buckeye offense will be put to the test against Penn State, but the Nittany Lions might struggle to move the ball against a statistically superior OSU defense.

3. Will sophomore running back Ezekiel Elliott find space to run?

Forget their total defensive numbers, the Nittany

Soccer from 11A another penalty kick from the foul, which was taken by junior defender Kyle Culbertson.

Culbertson’s shot was sent away by redshirt-sophomore goalkeeper Nick Landsberger — fresh off the bench — but Soldat swooped in to poke the ball into the net off the rebound.

The goal was Soldat’s second of the season — coming in as many games.

The shutout came in large part because OSU neutralized Bowling Green’s most powerful offensive threat. Sophomore forward Pat Flynn had scored 12 of Bowling Green’s 26 goals coming in to the game. His goals per game average of 0.92 coming in led the nation, as did his points per game average of 2.08.

But Flynn was held to only one shot on Wednesday.

“We were aware of him coming in tonight,” Doyle said.

“We knew he was a threat, and just defended well as a unit and managed to keep him quiet.”

The shutout was the second in a row and sixth of the season for OSU redshirt-senior goalkeeper Alex Ivanov.

The two penalty kicks accounted for the sixth and seventh attempts of the season for the Buckeyes — scoring on four.

Their opponents have only taken one, which came in the team’s third game on Sept. 5.

“It’s just good, aggressive play in the box responsible for that (the penalty kick differential),” Bluem said.

Sarris put the exclamation point on the game in the 64th minute, depositing a pass from Ivancic into the net for the Buckeyes’ third goal. Sarris reclaimed sole possession of the team lead in goals with his fifth.

4. Will the Penn State crowd affect a young Buckeye team?

The last time OSU played a game in State College, Pa., nine current Buckeye starters weren’t even Buckeyes.

The crowd at Beaver Stadium is notorious for being loud and sporting the white-out look for prime-time games against ranked opponents.

This time, the game means a little more as well. The last time the Buckeyes and Nittany Lions squared off in Beaver Stadium, neither team was eligible for the postseason because of NCAA violations.

Now, the tables are turned and the stakes are higher, which will likely result in a sell-out crowd from the Penn State faithful.

Despite having the secondlargest college venue in the country, Penn State ranked seventh in average home attendance as of Oct. 1. with an average of 99,806.

Lions’ defense has been simply dominant when it comes to the running game in 2014.

So far, they’re giving up just 60.8 yards per game, which puts them up more than 30 yards against the No. 2 team in the conference: Michigan.

But Penn State hasn’t had to face Elliott yet this season.

He’s not the best running back in the world right now, but he’s been breaking out over the past few weeks to spark the OSU offense on the ground. Overall, the Buckeyes are fifth in the Big Ten in rushing offense, but if Elliott continues to improve, they should climb the rankings.

Elliott will be up against a stiff test when he takes on the Penn State defensive front, but if he can find a way to match his season numbers — he’s averaging 88.5 yards per game — the Buckeyes will benefit greatly and likely find themselves in a position to win the game.

The frustration that mounted throughout the game for the Falcons was evident, as they were hit with two yellow cards in addition to Heuton’s red card. For the game, OSU outshot Bowling Green, 20-6.

Bluem chose to empty the bench as the game wore on.

By the final whistle, Ivanov and sophomore defender Tyler Kidwell were the only starters still on the field.

The Buckeyes are scheduled to continue their homestand Saturday against Rutgers. That game is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.

Senior midfielder Max Moller (11) takes a shot during OSU’s 3-0 win against Bowling Green on Oct. 22 at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.

Expect that number to drastically rise Saturday night.

5. Could an OSU win give it a rise in the AP poll?

Let’s be honest, the Buckeye schedule is not very strong.

However, not many teams go into Beaver Stadium on a Saturday night and come out with a victory, except for the Buckeyes.

OSU has won its last three games when visiting the Nittany Lions and three of the last four night games overall against Penn State.

With that being said, will a win in a historically hostile environment be enough to impress the voters? Or will the Buckeyes have to blow out their division rival in order to get back into the top 10?

Only time will tell as the Buckeyes and Nittany Lions are scheduled to meet Saturday at Beaver Stadium in State College. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m.

Cavs from 11A Last season, there were about 11,000 people at the preseason game. This year, there was a sold-out crowd of more than 19,000. At last year’s contest, you could hear a pin drop, while this year’s sounded like a playoff game.

On Tuesday, the Cavs announced they are throwing a fan fest before the home opener against the New York Knicks on Oct. 30. That event is scheduled to feature comedian Kevin Hart and rapper Kendrick Lamar.

I’m sorry, but that is just simply not how it is supposed to go in Cleveland.

After all that these teams have gone through, we have to know better than to count our chickens before they hatch. Confidence is great, but that only gets you so far.

So what exactly are we celebrating with this fan fest? The Cavs’ “coolness?”

All I’ve ever wanted from my teams was a championship, not to be trendy.

If all this attention and bandwagon-hopping is a byproduct of that possibility, then fine. And if they win, please invite Kevin Hart and Kendrick Lamar and Drake and whoever else wants to suddenly convince the world that they’re a Cavs fan to Euclid Avenue for the parade.

But please, for now, let’s remember what the real focus is here and save the festivals for a real accomplishment.
